Suspect arrested in April shooting death of Grand Prairie man, police say
Grand Prairie police have arrested a man who allegedly shot and killed an 18-year-old at a gas station on April 27, officials said in a statement. The suspect, Keionn Winters, 18, was arrested May 27 with assistance from the U.S. Marshal's Service, according to the statement. Winters has been charged with capital murder; his bond has been set at $1 million. The victim, 18-year-old Jose Luis Flores, was pumping gas at a Circle K when Winters attempted to rob him prior to shooting him several times, Flores' family said in an online petition. The petition, which has collected over 100 signatures, is urging the justice system to impose the death penalty on Winters. 'Allowing him to evade the death penalty would send a dangerous message that the lives of victims like Jose Luis are not valued,' Flores' sister wrote in the petition. In a statement at the time of the shooting, police said Flores may have been involved in 'high-risk activity' shortly before his death, but did not specify what the activity was.

Deadly Florida gas station shooting: Heartbroken mom recounts last phone call with teen son
The Brief The mother of the victim in the deadly gas station shooting sat down with FOX 35 Orlando. The sheriff's office says 17-year-old Nosiah Santos was shot and killed after an altercation. His mother says she was on the phone with her son during his final moments. MARION COUNTY, Fla. - The mother of a teenager who was shot and killed at a Marion County gas station on Friday spoke exclusively with FOX 35 News. She told us she was on the phone with her son during his final moments. The backstory Deputies with the Marion County Sheriff's Office said they responded to calls of a shooting around 2:34 p.m. on Friday at the Petro gas station located on Highway 318 and Interstate 75. When they arrived, officials said they found a teen who had been shot. The teen was transported to the hospital, and he later died. The teen was later identified as 17-year-old Nosiah Santos. Authorities believe the shooting occurred when an altercation happened at the gas pumps. One person of interest in the shooting was detained in Jacksonville a few hours after the shooting, deputies say. What they're saying The victim's mother, Lydia Albino, said her 17-year-old son, Nosiah Santos, called her saying he was at a Petro gas station and in an argument with someone he had been dating. She says the two were on their way to Jacksonville, but they had gotten into an argument and Nosiah wanted her to come pick him up and bring him home. She said she overheard the argument while on the phone with him. "He's telling this man, who is older than him, 'I don't want to be with you no more. I'm only 17. This is too much emotional distress. My mom's on her way to come get me' and he just kept repetitively telling this man, and this man's like, 'get in the car. Let's go. You have to come back with me.' They were on their way to Jacksonville," she recounted. Albino said she was racing to get to her son, but when she got there, she saw what no mother should. "He was already laid out at the pump. I couldn't recognize his face. I started asking, is he alive? They wouldn't tell me anything," she said. "I lost my baby and that I would never get back. I would never get him back."Albino says he was the youngest of five children and their family is overwhelmed with grief. "He was loved by so many people," she said. "He was a very loving young man who had all this stuff he wanted to do and smart like you wouldn't even believe, and now he's going to forever be 17."
